Re: Lunges and squats...
How many reps do you do? Also, do you use weights........or do them with your own body weight.
I DEF have to start getting back into this......... I just have to!!!

Re: Lunges and squats...
I only use my own body weight and I am a cripple!! I do 2 sets of 15..I will get up to 3 sets eventually...when I can walk again.
I am trying to prevent running injuries!

Re: Lunges and squats...
yes!! lunges and squats are the BEST for your lower body, and squats work your entire body, well, at least when you use heavy weight. But you should really increase your weights over time. 8 lbs is very light, and 20 reps are a bit much for one set.
If you increased your weight and did low reps, you would see improvement 400x faster. Soon you won't see any progression using such light weights.
good luck!
